College is great. Except for when your schedule falls apart, you miss assignment dates, and your friends haven't seen you in weeks. Here are 5 hacks that will help you keep your life together this semester!

1. Have a wall calendar

Hanging a dry erase calendar on the wall where you can see it everyday before you leave will help prevent the awkward "I forgot we had a test today" situation. The only catch is, you have to keep it updated month by month!

2. Supplement with a planner

Having a planner to write down key dates and assignments will help supplement your wall calendar. Get one you'll want to update and look at, like this coloring one!

3. Have a steady wake-up routine

Having a steady time to wake up, and a plan each morning for what to do will help keep you on track. College is a busy time, so having to plan out a time to take a shower and do your hair definitely isn't "extra."

4. Get 3 solid meals a day

Taking time out of your day, everyday, to eat is a necessity. make sure your body is consistently fueled with good, nutritious foods to keep you powered through those 12-hour days.

5. Take a break every once in awhile

Working hard is important, but it's also important not to over work yourself. Take a break every once in awhile and recharge.
